National Trust Family Cookbook (National Trust Food)

Product Information

Or, if your family is anything like mine, you can fry as many fritters as will fit in the pan at a time, immediately hurling them onto the gobbled-and-wanting-more plates. Claire Thomson wants to revitalise cooking for the family – making it less of a chore, with separate meals for children and adults, and more of an enjoyable way to refresh your culinary imagination and make cooking for the family something to look forward to. If you get them tasting spices and smelling herbs, that's really exciting for children, they just need to be engaged with food. Claire suggests alternative twists and substitutes so you can suit the ingredients to your family's tastes and what you have in the cupboard - and suggests ways that the kids can get involved in the cooking.

Being outside sharpens the senses and the appetite, refreshes the soul and gives different perspectives – and National Trust properties provide a wealth of different environments in which to enjoy food outdoors.

The recipes in it are categorised by how long they take to cook, with sections for on-the-go breakfasts and lunch box alternatives, from tasty-sounding Yogurt And Cardamom Chicken Wraps and Pea And Halloumi Fritters to Vietnamese Noodle Salad - all with substitutes so you can suit the ingredients to your family's tastes.Now 9 years into motherhood and enthusiastic about finding great products and helpful solutions for busy families to make life more fun and easier too. It's really important to get them to help you, otherwise the food lands in front of them and they're expected to eat it," Thomson adds. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The only thing I would change is to include photos of all the dishes as that is something that I look for in a cookbook. To serve, add the fish cakes to the rolls with a leaf or two of lettuce, some mayonnaise, salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon.
